Keep required checks aligned with your release process
When the release process changes, branch protection should catch up quickly.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add status check contexts
Adds status check contexts (provided in the request body, e.g., `{"contexts": ["new-context"]}`) to a protected branch, requiring these contexts to have been previously reported.
Why this helps
New checks are easy to forget, leaving the merge guardrails behind the real workflow.
- Reduce process drift
- Make release safeguards visible
- Avoid manual branch settings work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ntfy and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use the instruction: When an approved Ntfy policy update names new required checks, add those status check contexts to the specified protected branch.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger, choose the report channel, and test with one policy update.
Questions about this workflow
Does this remove existing checks?
No. The action adds the supplied status check contexts.
Can the update come from an AI agent?
Yes. Any connected backend that sends the webhook can provide the policy update.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Ntfy and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
